Monument Yangmen

Chapter 566 Changes in the Two Governments

With Yang Qi providing so many opportunities, talents from the two mansions will surely emerge quickly.

In this age of Confucianism, the corrupt Confucians hiding in the countryside are not the talents Yang Qi needs at all.

There is absolutely no need for Yang Qi to be courteous to the corporals and humbly invite them to come out of the mountain.

Love comes, I don't care if it doesn't come.

The question about education was the last of the many questions Kou Zhun asked for instructions.

After dealing with Kou Zhun's request, Yang Qi sent someone to deliver it to Kou Zhun.

The next thing to deal with is Fengcheng Ling Chen Yao's problem.

Fengcheng Commander Chen Yao is now considered a special existence in the official circles of the two prefectures.

Although he is in charge of a city and a part of the land around the city.

Its size is roughly the size of a county.But his authority is unique.

He is also among the many county-level yamen, the only one who does not need to report to Kou Zhun, but directly asks Yang Qi for instructions.

Yang Qi is directly responsible for everything in Fengcheng.

There are three things that Fengcheng ordered Chen Yaozuo to ask.

First, due to the influx of a large number of merchants, many merchants even stayed in Fengcheng to buy properties. The original Fengcheng was no longer enough to meet the needs of merchants.Therefore, Chen Yao applied for Yang Qi's approval to allow him to expand the construction of the city on the basis of the current Fengcheng.

Chen Yao's request was double.

With a swipe of his pen, Yang Qi directly approved five times.

The purchasing power and sense of smell of merchants are keen.

In addition, Yang Qi has begun to secretly control the economy of the Liao Kingdom, and the future Fengcheng trade will only grow bigger and bigger.

Therefore, twice the expansion of the city is far from meeting the needs of the market.

At the same time, Yang Qi also hopes to use this policy to attract a large number of businessmen from the Song Dynasty to settle down in Fengcheng.

Yang Qi has seen how terrifying a businessman's ability is.

Yang Qi also predicted how strong their background was.

However, it is not difficult to see from the news of later generations that the wealth of nearly a hundred kilograms, thousands of catties, etc. has been dug up in a certain place.

Yang Qi is planning to attract these people in, and then attract them to deposit their money in Nanguo Money Bank.

In order to tie these merchants to his warship.

As long as Yang Qi holds [-]% of the merchants in the Song Dynasty in his hands, he can influence the price changes in the Song Dynasty anytime and anywhere, and control half of the Song Dynasty's economy.

Second, because Fengcheng's business is becoming more and more prosperous, money from all over the world is constantly pouring into Fengcheng. The money used by various forces varies in size, casting process, and value. As a result, many incidents occurred.

For example, there was a businessman from Jiangning Mansion who negotiated a deal of fur goods with others. The two parties signed a contract under the fairness of the Yamen, and the delivery was made in copper coins.

The two parties agreed that a complete sheepskin would cost 150 Wen, and a complete cowhide would cost 780 Wen.

However, when the two parties delivered, the merchants of Jiangning Mansion took out a batch of unique copper coins to trade with the fur merchants.

sand dollars.

What is a sand dollar?

It is the kind of copper coin with a copper content of about [-]%, which can float in water.

This kind of coin was popular in the Southern Tang Dynasty during the reign of Li Yu, the queen master of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the officials of the DPRK and China extorted violently, and in the minting workshop, a lot of cutting corners were made to mint coins that harmed the people.

It stands to reason that this kind of coin has perished along with the Southern Kingdom, but I didn't expect that there are still people who can come up with this kind of money.

Compared with the authentic Taiping Xingguo Tongbao of the Song Dynasty, the exchange rate of sand dollars is ten to one.

In other words, in accordance with the terms of the contract between the two merchants.

The skins of the fur merchants are selling at a loss of nearly ten times the price.

Where is the fur merchant willing to work?

The two finally quarreled in Fengcheng Yamen.

Taking this as an example, Chen Yao made a suggestion to Yang Qi, that is to mint coins.

The process of minting coins is not complicated. If Yang Qi wants to mint coins, he can mint them at any time.

It's just that if Yang Qi minted coins in the northwest, once the coins were minted and circulated on the market, if the imperial historians of the Song Dynasty took advantage of this matter to make a fuss, Yang Qi would also cause a lot of trouble.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yang Qi decided that the Nanguo money bank should mint coins and promote Nanguo coins.

There are three advantages to doing this.

For one thing, it can save Yang Qi a lot of trouble.

Second, with the reputation of Nanguo Qianhang among merchants, it will quickly gain the support of merchants.

Three, it can quickly make the currency of Nanguo Money Bank become a currency that circulates in various countries in the shortest possible time.

Third, there is a request for instructions on the sale of weapons and equipment to the wild beggar tribe.

The friction between the Yeqi tribe and the Li tribe became more and more intense, and the war between the two tribes was inevitable.

While selling weapons to the wild beggar tribe, Chen Yao secretly hooked up with Li Jiqian and sold weapons to Li Jiqian at the same time.

However, this matter was somehow known to Yeqi Ganbo, and the envoys sent by Yeqi Ganbo negotiated with Chen Yao.

It was clearly stated that Yang Qi was no longer allowed to sell weapons to the Li clan, and at the same time, he had to provide the wild beggars with the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment currently in Yang Qi's hands.If not, the wild beggars will tear up the covenant and send troops south.

Yang Qi scratched his head and thought for a long time. He found that the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment in his hand should be the equipment worth thousands of taels developed for the Iron Cavalry Army.

Yang Qi felt that the wild beggar had already been squeezed by him once, and it was quite ruthless.

It doesn't matter to Yang Qi that the equipment for the cavalry army is sold to the wild beggars, because equipment is always being updated.

After a trip to the Liao Kingdom, Yang Qi had a new idea of ​​​​restructuring the equipment of the cavalry army.

The problem is, even if Yang Qi is willing to sell the equipment to Ye Qi Gan Bo, that poor Ye Qi Gan Bo may not be able to afford it.

As for Ye Qiqianbo's request to tear up the covenant and send troops south, Yang Qi resolutely ignored it.

Under Li Jiqian, the old wolf, if this old and sick tiger dared to take a step away from the party, Li Jiqian would swallow up the wild beggar tribe without leaving any scum.

Agree to Yeqi Qianbo's request not to sell weapons to Li Jiqian, and refuse Yeqi Qianbo's request to purchase the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment.

The reason is that wild beggars can't afford it.

This is Yang Qi's reply to Chen Yao's last question.

After dealing with all the political affairs, it's the turn of military affairs.

There are also many military affairs, there are memorials about military affairs, there are Wang Gui's, Yang Da's, Yang Wu's, and Yang Hong's.

Yang Hong's memorial was somewhat similar to Kou Zhun's previous one, and everything in the martial arts academy was ready.

The troops dispatched by Zhejia are already in place.

At present, there are less than ten students in the martial arts academy.

With a swipe of his pen, Yang Qi sent all the cadres below the battalion level to the martial arts academy for reform.

Cadres below the battalion level are the most numerous in the army, and many were promoted without even fighting a few battles.

These people are the backbone of Yang Qi's army, and they are also the group with the least education and experience.

Lao Wang Gui's request was a bit embarrassing.

Simply put, it is idle.

Now, the [-] soldiers of the Datong Army have been replenished, and these people have been trained by Wang Gui for a long time, and they have been replaced with new equipment.

Lao Wanggui felt that it was necessary to fight a few battles to hone his skills.

Yang Qi found that the generals of this era seem to have a consensus, that is, soldiers and horses who have not fought in battle are not considered good soldiers, and troops that have not fought in battle are not considered elite.

Yang Qi is not willing to make trouble for the time being, but if he does not fight, he will not be able to train elite soldiers.

After thinking about it, Yang Qi wrote a long letter and asked someone to send it to Chen Yao along with the approved documents of Chen Yao.

Yang Qi asked Chen Yao to forward that letter to Yeqi Qianbo.

The general meaning is: Dear, I heard that your elder brother is going to bully you, I can't stand it, and I am going to support you to do it with him.Do you need military support?If you need it, you can say hello at any time, and you can give money or land.

Yang Qi didn't know how Yeqi Qianbo would decide after seeing the letter. In short, he had already thrown an olive branch to Yeqi Qianbo.

As long as the wild beggar grabs the olive branch, then Yang Qi will have a chance to let Lao Wanggui take someone out to hone his skills.

Lao Wanggui's request was entrusted to the wild beggar Ganbo.

Yang Qi opened Yang Da's memorial, and when he saw it, he almost laughed angrily.

Yang Da said in the petition that the Rangers frequently raided outside the Fuxing Pass, and every time they harvested a lot, the soldiers of the Revival Army were envious and wanted to participate.

Yang Qi saw Yang Da's intention at a glance.

Yang Da's mind was exactly the same as that of Wang Gui's, and he also made trouble because of idleness.

Seeing that his soldiers are strong and strong, he wants to go out and do a wave.

Yang Qi replied decisively to Yang Da, rejected Yang Da's request, and told Yang Da clearly that any soldier was strictly prohibited from leaving the customs, and the whole army must enter a state of recuperation.

After nearly half a year of continuous fighting last year, the Fuxing Mansion looks prosperous now, but it was actually built by Yang Qi with money.

In real terms, Fuxing Mansion's foundation is very low, and it can't stand the toss.

Yang Wu's performance was the most satisfying to Yang Qi.

After more than half a year of visits, with the help of scarecrows and volcano guards, Yang Wu selected nearly 1 young people between the ages of 15 and 20.

These people are basically selected from one in a million.

One game is different from the other.

In short, each of them meets the requirements of a fierce soldier, or has the potential to become a fierce soldier.

Yang Wu asked Yang Qi to allocate a training camp for them as soon as possible, as well as all the necessary supplies.

Now these people are temporarily living in Fuxing Pass, each of them has had dozens of fights with the soldiers of the Fuxing Army relying on their youth and vigor, and being more domineering than others.

Yang Qi's reply was very simple, let Yang Wu wait a moment, and he will go to Fuxingguan to inspect it in person in the near future.

After dealing with these official matters, the rest are two private letters.

One was handed by Shang Qingzi to Yang Yansi, and the other was a letter from Zhe Yuxun.

The content of Shang Qingzi's private message is very simple, only one sentence.

someone wants to see you...

Even with his eyes closed, Yang Qi could guess who wanted to see him. Ninety-nine percent of the time it was the group of old antiques from the Taoist sect who had figured it out and wanted to talk to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi hasn't figured out whether to see the old antiques from the Daoist sect, or how to see them, so he put this matter on hold for the time being.

Zoru Yuxun's letter is very long.

It explained the current situation of the party project in detail, and at the same time invited Yang Qi to Zhejia and his party.

"My uncle, I can't bear it..."

Yang Qi put down Zhe Yuxun's letter, shook his head and smiled.

The Zhe family has a deep foundation in the northwest, and the previously recovered five counties of Linzhou and Yinzhou have been quickly digested.

The Yang family is not as deep-rooted as the Zhe family in the northwest, so it is still in the digestion stage.

Yang Qi could understand Zhe Yuxun's anxiety, but he was a little helpless.

With the current power of the Zheyang family, taking advantage of the internal strife in the party, it is easy to bite off a piece of meat from the party.

But there is this risk in the middle.

Once Li Jiqian and Yeqi Ganbo get together and make a concerted effort to speak out, it is very likely that they will be dealt a head-on blow.

Moreover, the most elite Dingnan army under Li Jiqian's command did not cause too much loss in the previous battle, which was a threat to Zheyang's family.

Of course, the main threat still comes from Da Song.

No one can guarantee whether Zhao Guangyi will suddenly attack and give Zheyang's family a blow from behind.

After all, the rebellion of the Fu family in Suzhou and Jiangning Prefecture has been quelled.

The second master of the Fu family was also escorted to Bianjing City, where he was torn to pieces.

Da Song now has the opportunity to free up his hand and give them a ruthless one.

Therefore, the two families seem to be in full swing now, but they are actually walking on thin ice.

Therefore, it is not suitable to start a war with the party for the time being.

Yang Qi couldn't afford to gamble.

However, Zhe Yuxun's letter still made Yang Qi see something that excited him.

The previous Zhe family was afraid of Zhao Guangyi, so they lived in Fuzhou in a well-behaved manner.

Now, with the help of Yang Qi, the territory of the Zhe family has doubled, and it has also gotten rid of the control of the imperial court. The Zhe family has completely let go of its ambitions.

Zhejia intends to annex Dangxiang, which in Yang Qi's view, is a gratifying thing.

The aggressiveness of the nation, we lost it a long time ago.

Now, Yang Qi has used his means to awaken the aggressiveness of a nation step by step.

Yang Qi doesn't think that a very aggressive nation will be beaten into a sieve after a thousand years.

When the aggressiveness of a nation is completely released, when people of a nation see the benefits of aggression, there are only two things left for them to do.

Aggressive.

On the way to invade others.

The empire on which the sun never sets, which is famous in the annals of history, developed into a huge empire step by step with the support of this kind of aggressiveness.

Even though the colonies in various places were disintegrated, they were still imprinted with the deep imprint of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Yang Qi doesn't think that a nation with thousands of years of cultural heritage will lose to others after throwing off the moral shackles that bind it.

Yang Qi put down the letter in his hand, walked to the window of the study, looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, and murmured in a low voice.

"I see, I conquer..."

"Such words will also be regarded as classics?"

"joke!"

"What I want to do is to conquer even if I'm lying in a coffin."
